CADILLAC 331, 365, 390, 429 Valve Covers

These PML Cadillac valve covers are designed for 1949 to 1967 Cadillacs with 331, 365, 390, and 429 V8 engines with four bolt valve covers.

These are larger than stock and not intended to be bolt on replacements for the stock covers.

Engine Considerations

1. These valve covers are perimeter mount, with four bolts per cover, included. Some early engines require center bolt mounting and PML does not have valve covers for these engines.

2. For 1963 to 1967 390 and 429 engines, these valve covers will bolt onto the heads although the shape is different. You will need to use the earlier 1954 specified gasket to get the valve covers to seal on a 429 engine. The 429 gaskets will not work with these valve covers.

3. These valve covers are taller than stock with pockets to work with many roller rocker systems. Be sure to check clearance on the inside and outside for your particular engine configuration.

4. Stock engines may have air conditioners, heaters, cruise control units or other items close to the stock cover so these larger PML covers may not fit without modification.

5. Most applications breathe through the valley plate so these valve covers do not incorporate a provision for breathers or PCV.

6. See Specifications for gasket information.

Dimensions: Click here for dimensions. There is 2.48" from the gasket surface to the top inside surface. On the outside, check for clearance with air conditioner, bracket, heating, cruise control and other parts.

Finishes: Read about finishes and construction of PML parts.

These PML heavy duty valve covers offer classic styling and extra space for many roller rockers systems.

The CADILLAC script and fins are cast into the cover and raised (not engraved). The script replicates the 1949 GM CADILLAC logo. To highlight the CADILLAC script, powder coat is brushed off the top of the script and fins on the black powder coat finish, and on polished parts, we do not polish between the fins and the script.
